I figure classic gaming is probably where this belongs.
Not fifteen minutes ago, a documentary that I have been eagerly anticipating became available for pre-order. Or, at least, an email went out informing the fans of said fact.
A few years back, a guy named Jason Scott made a documentary on BBSes. Now he's done one on text adventures.
It looks fascinating, and until December 30 of 2009, it's 25% off.

I thoroughly enjoyed the BBS documentary (what was it called? Flack posted the notice of it...can't remember in my haste and excitement). From all appearances, this looks to be of similarly high quality. Oddly enough, I'm most excited to hear Edward Packard (author / creator of the Choose Your Own Adventure book series) be interviewed. I mean, the rest of them are cool, but I loved CYOA books even more than the text adventures.
Anyways - there it is. Get it while it's hot!
